RE: Herndon on Lincoln: Letters

I happened to come across this documentary that appeared in 1998 on The History Channel before it became the Anything But History Channel. It appears to have been produced in conjunction with the release of Herndon's Informants as Rodney Davis and Douglas Wilson are major figures. Also, friends of Mary might want to know that Michael Burlingame is a prominent figure as well.

Overall, I thought this was well done. It's about 1 1/2 hours long, so it will take some commitment to get through, but in the end I think it's worth it.

By the way, it starts near the end, so you'll have the back it up to the beginning. Not sure why it did that.

Best
